A new study has revealed that excessive time spent on digital screens daily can negatively impact a person’s mental health.
The research suggests that it directly affects brain function and may lead to depression.
Young children are especially vulnerable, with prolonged screen time having a greater impact on their mental well-being.
Experts recommend avoiding phone use or digital screens at least two hours before bedtime, as the blue light emitted from screens interferes with melatonin production, a hormone that regulates sleep.
The World Health Organization has also highlighted this issue, warning that screen time poses a significant threat to mental rest and overall well-being.
